A Local Holiday Feast

Do you have some favorite holiday dishes that you enjoy every year? In addition to those tried and true recipes that may or may not feature local ingredients, consider utilizing as many local foods as possible into your holiday feast. We are fortunate to have many locally-grown and produced foods available around the holidays. It’s the perfect time to be thankful and supportive of our local growers by purchasing their goods and transforming them into delicious soups, salads, side dishes and desserts.
